Galen Gibson-Cornell’s New Arrivals is a layered exploration of movement and transformation, constructed from found street posters sourced in New York City and Berlin. Through weaving and structural elements like zippers and magnets, the piece extends beyond a traditional flat surface, creating depth and dimensionality. Fragments of urban imagery blend with intricate patterns, capturing the fleeting nature of public messaging and the constant evolution of cityscapes. New Arrivals reflects the way visual culture is continuously dismantled and reassembled, mirroring the rhythm of urban life where old narratives are erased, replaced, and reinterpreted over time.
